Range

Range is the restaurant that could -- and did. Seven years ago, on a very tight budget, Phil and Cameron West created a restaurant in an unlikely neighborhood that grew to attract diners from all over. Secondhand shops in the Mission provided inspiration for the interior, but the restaurant still feels chic and modern. Range has everything going for it: West?s food, exceptional cocktails and Michelle Polzine's desserts. West may serve braised flounder with split peas, bacon and pea shoot dumplings; or roast chicken with spaetzle and green garlic. Polzine creates butterscotch pudding with toffee and house-made vanilla wafers, or buckwheat crepes with huckleberries and chicory ice cream.
